Missus. Editors: VVhenever a writer'makeir his'debut to the world, public curiosity will flat urally be excited to know hi name and place of iixxic"-.in order to eratuy the inquisitive, It has been the practice of most writers, on their first setting out, to not only make known their names and place of residence, but also to furnish a bio graphical memoir, accompanied with a portrai ture of their proper persons. With all due deference to the wise plans of preceding writers, we beg leave to differ from them in our outset. Whatever may be thought necessary on this score, shall be attended to at a future period. In this number it is merely our object to state, that we are a certain set of M men united together by the ordinary ties of friendship ; and our object in view is, to write upon any and every suojeci mat we may deem caicuutea to a muse and instruct your readers. It may be that we shall occasionally touch upon political and the ological subjects. At this moment it is impossi ble to determine how often, and with whut de gree of regularity we may publish our essays, owing to the varioOs professions of our members e frequently experience consiueraoie uimcuuy in getting a sufficient number ot members to gether to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, without which we cannot publish any thing to the world. Our rules require the con currence of two-thirds of our members in all things we intend to publish. At our last meeting we appointed one of our members to superintend the concerns of our as sociation, so far as re-pects the publication of our essays t His name will' hereafter appear at the head of our labors. ' It was also agreed, nem. con. that if any mem her shall be fouud. guilty of the tin of filagiarum he shall be expelled, tfito facto, and ever after be disabled of becoming a member of our Llub. We deem this resolution all-important, not only for the discovery of the cognoscience of our mem bers, but to save your readers the trouble of ex amininer a vast number of books, in order to con vict us of literary tfirfi. Under such circumstan ces we appear before the public, pledging our selves that every thing which may appear under the'title of the "Athekiak i lub, shall.be purely original, unless otherwise expressed. It may be thought by some, that we are too rigid in our regulations concerning filagiantm : To such we would sayi In the language" of the sons of Esculapius, " that inveterate diseases re quire the application of energetic remedies.

Whatever part of your paper-we may be permit- ted to occupy, you may rest assured it shall not e st u (Ted with iV-gotten treature. In the further exposition of our views, it may not be improper to remark, that our motto shall be, 'JZS18S. pleased JtC praise U'nri of of 1 J ami un.Ur 1(5 , of 16 and uud-r23 f 23, mid iinji-r 4 J 1 of 43 and upwards . , ... .TotaV ' Total whttn pcnous, .

It is a lingular fact, that tlie no ly discovered land in the Pacific Ocein, snulliof Cape Horn, has been known to brvthtr hiuithtin, at least so lon that a vot.iJ.u to hik! from tlie Island Ium actually been completed out 'if the port of Htonington, Connecticut. Hut, less nniVitimn about tlie honor titan the profit, he was content, f'ror.i tho experieiKC of tlie first vo'yagt, to move on quietly in the purchase of ship, which lie ha done to llie cvu-iit of seven or eigiit within a few months all of which hat e os tensibly gone a -whaling, but they have been more proba bly a tenting. About two years ago a ship M as titled out or this port, (Ncw-lork,) on shares, tor "an inland un known to any one except the captain, where seals, which had never been disturbed by man, were as tame as kit tens, and more plenty than at any other place upon earth.1 This wu tlie lanjruagc used to inducts others to take an interest, the possessors of the secret being rich in knowl edge, but poor in purse. The nliip, however, proceeded. but was unfortunately cast away before she reached her destination. When our brethren of Stonineton have made as much aa thev wish bv kcenimr tbe secret, wc hone thev will favor the work! with some account of their discovery. It is probable the people in Ncw-Iuvcn have been making some guru of the exigence of this Island, ss they too have been looking out for vhtile. thift. vwrc. ,iav. "But not afraid to blame." In justice io the. public," we "will merely state, that we are situated in an obscure, village, re mole Irom your town. - " We deem it advisable to state, that none of the mem bers of " The Club'? have any connection with the above, either directly orondiejrtly, and that it it not the produc tion of uny gentlemen in tlii town or its vicinity.
